A method for providing a recommendation to an individual about an article of footwear includes receiving data about the individual from a sensor module associated with the individual during a first athletic activity engaged in by the individual, determining a first characteristic about the individual's gait based on the data related to the first athletic activity, providing a recommendation about a first article of footwear to the individual based on the first characteristic, receiving data about the individual from the sensor module associated with the individual during a second athletic activity engaged in by the individual, determining a second characteristic about the individual's gait based on the data related to the second athletic activity, comparing the first characteristic with the second characteristic, and providing a recommendation about a second article of footwear to the individual based on the comparison.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the electronic device is configured to receive the data for the first individual during the first athletic activity from the paired sensor module.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the electronic device separately associating the sensor module with the first individual and the second individual comprises wirelessly connecting the sensor module with the electronic device.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the sensor module is a first sensor module, and wherein the retail enhancement system further comprises a second sensor module.
5. The system of claim 4, wherein the first sensor module is configured to be removably attached to the first article of footwear to be worn by the first individual during the first athletic activity and the second sensor module is configured to be removably attached to a second article of footwear to be worn by the first individual during a second athletic activity performed by the first individual.
6. The system of claim 5, wherein the electronic device is configured to provide a second recommendation about a third article of footwear to be worn by the first individual to the first individual based on the data for the first individual during the first athletic activity and the second athletic activity performed by the first individual.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein a graphical user interface (GUI) of the electronic device is configured to simultaneously display data of the first individual and the second individual.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the electronic device comprises a graphical display configured to identify the first individual by a first icon and the second individual by a second icon.
9. The system of claim 1, wherein the electronic device comprises a graphical display configured to allow the first individual to select an area on the first individual's body with a prior injury.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein the first recommendation about the second article of footwear to be worn by the first individual is further based on the area on the first individual's body with the prior injury.
11. The system of claim 1, wherein the electronic device comprises a graphical display configured to display an update as to a status of the pairing of the sensor module to the electronic device.
12. The system of claim 1, wherein the electronic device comprises a graphical display configured to display one or more sales phases of a sales transaction of the first individual.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein the one or more sales phases comprises at least one of a pre athletic activity phase, an athletic activity phase, a data collection and download phase, or an analysis phase.
14. The system of claim 13, wherein at least one of the athletic activity phase or the analysis phase is only displayed on the electronic device that collected the personal information of the first individual.
15. The system of claim 13, wherein the graphical display is configured to display one or more areas of the retail environment corresponding to the one or more sales phases.
16. The system of claim 1, wherein the electronic device is configured to notify the first individual that the data for the first individual has been collected such that the first recommendation about the second article of footwear to be worn by the first individual can be provided to the first individual.
17. The system of claim 1, wherein the sensor module is configured to notify the first individual that the data for the first individual has been collected such that the first recommendation about the second article of footwear to be worn by the first individual can be provided to the first individual.
18. The system of claim 1, wherein the electronic device is further configured to provide feedback to the first individual regarding the first characteristic about the gait of the first individual.
19. The system of claim 1, wherein the electronic device is further configured to separately associate the sensor module with the first individual and the second individual in different parts of a sales cycle.
